When all these facts you spitting I can find by googling Like why I gotta know the dates of the French Revolution When I can hop up on phone and type it in in two seconds, ok huh? Moreover, your lesson’s kinda boring me Who cares about these wars and monarchies that came way before me? I’m going to take the next hour to catch up on some more sleep Go on and ignore me, wake me if I’m snoring, teacher TEACHER: Look, I get why you think history is kind of boring We often don’t put it in context or explain the importance Giving you quizzes like, “Which date? What year?“ Which has no impact on your long term career, I feel you But history ain’t about knowing facts It’s about solving problems of today, where we’re at And understand our grandparents, their impact on today learning from good ideas and not repeating mistakes And maybe you’re like, “Cool, but what’s this gotta do with me?” Dude, you’re the future of our entire species With the freedom to read into past historic decisions And determine how to proceed so humanity progresses, my brother You’re part of history this instant With a privilege of knowing how the past impacts the current You can see why past monarchies rotted Compare it to modern politics How do we dodge comparable problems? Do you want to make a change? Make a difference? Best learning from historic figures decisions When Mr. Lincoln, for instance, was younger he’d be reading books about the Fall of Rome, Constitution, bios of Benjamin Franklin Then take a look at history’s great ideas Like inventions, medicine, new governments, fighting for freedom And hear me, the world needs new ideas And the best ideas come from younger people (like you) What problem did Edison solve with his invention of the light bulb? Take that motivation, find a problem, even a small one Spend some energy brainstorming, different solutions to solve it Good to remember human lives have changed rapidly imagine living as a peasant in 14th century Working land all day, cold porridge, hard beds Scraping by praying that you wont catch Black Death To 600 years later, now you’re sitting in this class iPhone, wifi, texting friends, downloading apps Not a worry in the world about a virus or a plague That’s a short time for those experiences to change And your grandparents, even they’ve lived through a lot From World Wars, preparing for atomic bombs to drop All those times played a part to shape your life It’s a humbling reminder, a healthy empathy exercise So this is the moment to think about history differently How it affects your daily living Think about it, write about it Compare it to the modern era Respect your ancestors that probably had it harder than you open up your lens to a slew of new ideas To inspire you, start a movement with your friends that you believe in You’re the generation to take the world and make a difference harness history to make sure humanity progresses, and I’m out Lyrics and performance by Jam Campus Instrumental composition by:
